{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
=== Hang on Boot ===
In Single Core, the game will not boot. Using Dualcore with SyncGPU off allows the game to work properly.
=== <s>Displace International Mission</s> ===
There is a game-breaking bug in the Displace International mission. After leaving the server room and heading onto the elevator to the upper floors, upon loading the section nothing can be seen.
Fixed sometime before {{revision|5.0-78}}.

{{testing/entry|revision=4.0-5416|OS=Windows 7 x64|CPU=Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GT 640|result=Playable, but with minor problems. The loading screens are unemulated it seems due to only displaying a black screen unless it's a settings issue, but I don't think it is since I tested OpenGL and Direct3D. Don't know about the software rasterizer though. In game seems a bit darker than on a real console, and there is some very minor texture errors like walls showing up at open entrances in some places, but if you're playing this for the first time, it could make you think that you're stuck. Has slowdown as well in places with heavy effects like bright lights. A better CPU than mines should have no trouble though I think. Only played the first level.|tester=Yugix}}

Seems like the error consistently occurs when an elevator is used as the stopgap between different sections of a level.|tester=Metroid_III}}
